A chic straight skirt in cotton in an elegant ribbed (5/1) pattern. To work in rounds beginning from above - or if you prefer to work flat back and front separately for then to sew the side seams - both ways are included in the pattern. The decreases for the hip make a splendid fit and at the same make a discreet decoration at the side.
